Top pick: #7 (SWEETRAYOFSUNSHINE) (2-1) - Grey mare always comes with her best and has an outstanding record on the local dirt (6-4-2-0). Stalker just missed here going seven-furlongs on April 3 in her first in 11 months, and trainer Bill Spawr has worked her five times since. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #4 (Quinette) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Ron Ellis and this veteran mare has won more times (eight) than any other running in this one-mile allowance-optional $20K claimer. 5yo is moving back to the dirt and has a pair of fine works since her latest.

3rd pick: #2 (My Monet) (5-2) - Undefeated (two for two) speedball is stretching out around two-turns after easy wins in her first pair sprinting here. The "figure" earned in her latest is the best any of these has achieved, and she's an obvious threat, though at a short price.

4th pick: #5 (In Dad's Honor) (8-1) - The second of the Ellis pair, she's dropping down and stretching back out off a solid try sprinting on May 1 facing tougher. Has a shot at a square price.
